Helping: the Spent of Ship*. It is said that Professor Carlo del Lungo, of Spezzia, Italy, who is an Instructor at the Royal College, has patented a scheme for promoting the speed of ships by lubricating their sides. His belief is that by pumping air into the water around a vessel he can reduce the d<*nsity of the fluid, and thus lessen the friction. Some tests have already been made with the system at Leghorn, and Professor del Lungo says that they were entirely satisfactory. Other experiments on a more extensive scale are to take place in England during the present month. While the invention can be applied to all ships, the author of it says that it can be carried to a still higher degree of efficiency by modifications in the form of the vessels.?Tribune Farmer. t FIFTY MINERS ENTOMBED j Explosion Wrecks Shaft in Leiter's Pnllioru at 7oior|pp. II WUIIIVi V Ub J ill MANY KILLED AND INJURED I I Top of Shaftine Was Blown Out and Cage Was Destroyed ? Work of Reicue Commenced at Once?Rumor That Explosion Wan Due to Some Recent Strike Difficulties. Benton, 111.?Nearly half a hundred | miners were entombed in Joseph Letter's mine at Zeigler by an explosion of 1 gas. It transpires that there were two explosions close together. The first explosion took p'ace in the airshaft. and was followed by a much greater upheaval in the main shaft. There are employednn the mine only ISO men, 120 being at work in the day I time. Four cages, each containing about ten men, of the day force, had gone down into the mine.just before the catastrophe occurred. The explosion wrecked the shaft, blowing out the skids on which the cages were hoisted. Besides the fifteen bodies recovered three men were removed alive. One miner was killed and four were severely injured at the mouth of the shaft. The explosion, it is said, was due to the fact that the Leiter mines i had not been worked the previous day, ' thus allowing gas to accumulate in the | lower workings. The first explosion blew the mouth of the mine high into the air. One of the steel cages was hurled to the surface . from the bottom of a 500-foot shaft, i The shock of the explosion was felt at I Benton, twelve mil.es northeast of I Zeigler. A teamster driving along a j road half a rhile from the mine was j covered WHD ramus uuuns, anyjL v.? bris covered the bottom of his wagon half an inch deep. The work of rescue was begun at ! once by miners, who were arriving j when the explosion took place. But I the main shaft was demolished so that j rescue work has to be carried on I through the airshaft. A committee of union miners from Duquoin and other neighboring mining towns, headed by District President { Morris, hastened to Zeigler soon after the explosion oceurred and offered their aid. j In the effort to recover the entombed I men live rescuers were overcome by afterdamp. All the searchers for the ! men below were let down by hand, | and in two instances the men above i were nearly overcome by gas. C. E. Childers, a striking Zeigler miI ner, last October predicted in a printed | article that an explosion was likely to ; occur on account of what he termed i improper ventilation of the shafts. ! There was much excitement among miners when the accident became known, because there had been a strike of long duration, and many conflicts occurred between strikers and non union miners. An investigation, however, tended to show that the catastrophe was due to the accidental explosion of accumu* lated gas. ' SHOT IN COURT HOUSE.

Bell never spoke after being shot." Parker was taken to the county jail and locked up on a charge of murder. He stubbornly refused to make any statement to any one but his lawyer. Lawyers who knew Bell socially and professionally said the shooting grew out of papers in a divorce suit in which Bell was one of the counsel. The dead man was born near Atlanta, Ga., about thirty-six years ago, and had lived in Dallas fifteen years. PRESIDENT STARTS SOUTH. Mr. Roosevelt and Party Leave Washington on Pleasure Trip.

London, England.?Peace talk has been prevalent everywhere, but that negotiations had commenced was positively denied in all official circles here. The Foreign Office disclaimed even having any knowledge of peace proposals. Viscount Hayashi, Japanese Minister to Great Britain, declared that he had no information in regard to the announcement contained in St. Petersburg dispatches that Russia had indirectly made kuown to Japan the negative conditions on which peace might be concluded, namely, no cession of territory and no indemnity, but he said unreservedly that the terms then mentioned could not even be considered.

In this j matter the Emperor went beyond the ! recommendations of the Russian Senj ate, to which the petition was submitted, and acted upon tlje advice of j Prince John Obolensky, Governor-General of Finland, who favored a con:ession to Finnish public opinion.

The members of the ship's crew have been going under the vessel in divers' suits to inspect the bottom of the Lena to ascertain the condition of the vessel. While walking around on the bottom of the channel a cask of powder was found, and to the cask was a long wire which led off toward the shore, i The cask was slowly raised to the surface, and then it was found that it was one that had been lost overboard from the cruiser Tacoma about a year ago. WOOD BUFFALO KILLED. ! Hundreds Fall Prey to Wolves in the Northwest. Winnipeg, Manitoba.?Advices which I have just reached Edmonton from Fort Resolution, which is a Hudson Bay Company's post situated on the southern shore of the Great Slave Lake, in the vast unexplored district of Mackenzie, say that wolves have become exceedingly plentiful and of alarming boldness, making it necessary for the Indians to consolidate their camps for protection. This is in the heart of a wild country, where magnificent specimens of the wood buffalo are still at large. Wolves have attacked herds of the animals with unprecedented ferocity and hundreds of them have been slaughtered. At Fort Smith this has been particularly the case, full grown bulls having been killed and devoured. The settlers and trappers of the district propose to memorialize the Dominion Government to take steps to preserve the wood buffalo, which, under the present arrangement, are going the way of the species which roamed over the whole Northern Continent io days gone by.

British India.-A.il earth( quake in Northern India caused a. vast extent of damage from Agra to Simla. There was a violent shock at Agra, beginning at 0.10 o'clock in the morni ing and lasting for several minutes. The vibratiou traveled from west to east. The inhabitants of- Lahore were luiunu imu yuuiu uy a suucessiuu ul shocks. It is reported that the towers ! of the Golden Mosque have fallen, and the Wazir Khan Mosque was badly , cracked. The shocks were so violent at Delhi 1 ,that natives squatting on the ground 1 were completely overturned. The native quarter of Dharmsala was obliterated entirely, the population being buried under the ruins, and nine persons were killed in the European quarter, where the buildings were wrecked. The women and children of Dharmsala are sleeping in the open air. Their discomfort was increased by a keen frost. Food could not be procured there. Lahorp. British India.?The earthquake was the worst disaster here within the memory of living persons. The towns of Amritsar, Julluuder, Ferozepoor. Multan, Rawul-pindi and Mussooree were badly shaken. Great damage and loss of life were reported from Kashmir. The Dalhousie, Fehoa, Dumdum and Patiala telegraph lines became disorganized. Seventy natives were killed at Lahore. The Mohammedans began parading the streets, praying and ceremoniously performing funeral rites. Reports indicate that Dharmsala felt | the full force of the shock. The killed include C. W. Lex ton, who only the previous aay naa assumea tne omce ot District Judge in succession to Captain Elliott, who. with his family, left the same day, escaping the shock. Others who perished were F. W.

It is a curious fact j that the older houses in Mussooree esj caped with less damage than modern i buildings. ! Accounts from Mussooree state that i the reverberation which preceded the I shocks will never be forgotten by those ! Who heard it. The ...ountains heaved | and swayed a full minute, and then ; three severe shocks, each lasting a few | seconds, were felt in quick succession. ] Between G o'clock in the morning and midnight there were twelve shocks. The day was fine and .clear and most of the inhabitants were already up I wuen iue nrsc suock came. .inose woo i were still in bed described the motion as being like that of a ship in a storm, while those on foot found it impossible to maintain their balance. Many narrow escapes are reported. Reports from many more towns show widespread damage and more fatalities. At Firozfur (forty-seven miles east of Lahore). Amritsar, Farana. Dehra.
